Array r PROVINCIAL LIBRARY- Provincial Library- Victoria, B. C. SERVING THE GROWING SECHELT SUNSHINE COAST FENINSULA FROM SQUAMISH TO PENDER HARBOUR. Published in Gibsons, B.C. November 11.1954. Volume 8, Number 45. Steady growth of" the use of electricity on Sechelt Peninsula is shown in the ninth annual report of the B.C. Power Commission, which reflect the steady increase of population in the area. While the figures presented in the report cover the year ending March 30; 1954 it also implies future development on trie Peninsula by commenting on the fact detailed .. distribution surveys were made in the Sechelt to Pender Harbour area and also on part of Gambier Island. Since-the report was prepared announcements have made that work on the distribution system into the Pender Harbour district Will be undertaken this winter. In the Sechelt system in 1947 there were 423 residential power users and in March, 1954 there were 1,304. They paid $15,609 for power in 1947 and $75,754 for the year ending March, 1954. Revenue per kilowatt hour' in 1947 was 11.2. cts. and in, 1954 it was 4.5 cts. There were 74 commercial service users in 1947 who paid $5,747 for power and for the year ending March, 1954 there were 154 commercial service users who paid $21,440. This resulted in an 8.2 cents revenue per kilowatt hour in 1947 and 2.9 cents per kilowatt hour in the year ending March, 1954. t Other power users in 1947 numbered 4 and in the year ending March 1954 they numbered 15. The cost to this classification has risen from 2:7 cents to 3.3 cents per kilowatt hour. Taking in all classifications of users of power on Sechelt Peninsula there were 501 in 1947 arid 1,476 in the year ending March, 1954. The revenue pery kilowatt hour has dropped from 8.1 cents to 4 cents. There are now 66.7 circuit miles on the Peninsula, an increase of 6.2 for the year. There was an increase of 120 new/services during the year. The report on transmission in the various districts has this toy say of the Peninsula area: "A complete patrol and survey was made of the more inaccessible portions of the Clowholm to Sechelt 69 kv line in Novem- hioved.

Pender Harbour Hospital Will Have Second Doctor STAN BOWDLER ���'. Following^ acceptance by the Hospital committee of St. Mary's Hospital at Pender Harbour of a proposal by Dr. Playfair that he change his temporary status to a more lengthy tenure and that a second doctor be invited to join with him in the practice associated with the hospital The Coast News is now officially advised that Dr. R!

The pilgrimage is 'for boys and girls of 15 to 17 years of age, who are high school students in grades 10 or 11, at; the time they are selected for this pilgrimage. These students are joined by several hundreds. from Canada and the United States. On their return home, <eaqh delegate, makes a report on the trip, and upon the United Nations as they have seen it. The Sunshine Coast Lodge is hoping to be able to send a relegate in the summer of 1955. tal is now regarded as worthy of the full time of two "doctors and that the move will improve and extend the medical service the hospital offers to the district it serves. -^ Dr. Alan Swan, who is at present practicing at Duncan, is a graduate of Queen's University.. He interned at St. Paul's Hospital at the same time Dr. Playfair and during those years the plans for a possible future partnership were formulated. Dr. Swan has taken special training in anesthesia which will assist in the surgical services of the hospital. Mrs. Swan is at present working with him as a nurse and is a graduate in obstetrics. She will assist him in his practice at St. Mary's.'Dr. Swan expepts to leave Duncan for Pender Harbour on or about Nov. 19 and will start .his practice at St. Mary's shortly after that date. Officers of the Gibsons and District Recreation Commission, were elected at Monday's meeting at Bill Peterson's home. Bill Peterson is chairman, Bob Wilson, secretary, and Jim Drummond Jr. is treasurer. The executive is composed of Norman Hough, Dr. Hugh Inglis, Ron Godfrey and C.' P. Ballentine. It was decided to register the Commission under the Societies Act. The School Board is to be approached to ascertain the re: ^uiremen,ts for the use,of the school auditorium. Norman' Hough, one of the trustees will outline the position of the commission at the next school board meeting. I There is to be a meeting of the district commissioners in Gibsons on Friday, Nov. 19, where Jerry Mathisen will outline further procedures. It was agreed there should be no canvassing of merchants for funds to start activities. In- Mrs. Alice French of Sechelt has been asked what happened to her old dog.

Price Support Debate Held At' the Farmers' institute ^meeiim^ last week . more... than, usual interest was taken in Jo- col school \ affairs and as each month goes past it is hoped the institute will ��be further enlightened. The B.C. Federation of Agriculture's "Price Support" subject received attention with each member favoring price jupport. .In justice to other districts which are really farming communities, the institute visely refrained from making any suggestions on incentive rice or cost of production or parity price formula.' .It waa mentioned the institute feels uality produce should be recognized, and that endeavor hould be made to place farn> ing on par with industry. Need Helpers in Blind Drive More help is needed to collect funds for. the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, says John Wood, chairman of the Gibsons and district committee set up to assist the CNIB in this area. "To date we have had a fairly good response as far as it has gone but we need further aid to cover a wider territory so if there is anyone who feels he can help out please phone or see me at the Wood Hardware Store and instructions will be given any who desires to help in the canvas," Mr. Wood said,. Those persons who have so far neglected to contribute to the fund will be able to leave their donation at the Bank of Montreal" office in Gibsons or Sechelt, Mr. Wood said. ste^ad, there will be membership fees, which will cover a group insurance plan for all participants in various activities under the scheme. This Dog on't Die After listening,'to so many people who thought Traddie would be happier in the dogs' heaven, seeing she is now nineteen, Mrs. French decided to put her to sleep. She was-given six tablets from a prescription made up by the local drug store. After a nice long sleep, she staggered in for breakfast, with the other dogs. All she had was a hang-over. Evidently she has decided she will die when her time comes and not before. She however is mighty particular what she eats, and shoves her food around before she will take a mouthful.

The higher elevations and the rough terrain which the line traverses aver the greater portion of its ength make it extremely difficult to approach or patrol in ;he winter months. A few interruptions occurred but these were either momentary or of a ninor nature. There are 23.6 customers per mile on the Peninsula circuit ind the investment per customer has risen from $208 to $214. Out of a total; - revenue of ?104,884 for the Peninsula circuit net surpluses for the year totalled $2,182 which goes into an accumulated stabilization reserve now set at $15,768. Total costs for the Sechelt distri- outuion area were at March 30, 1954, $370,093. The report, covering operations of the entire B.C. Power Commission operations for the fiscal year ended last March 31, reveals that gross revenue, at $7,103,853 was 20 percent greater than in * the previous year, and 45 percent greater than in the 1951-52 year. \ This reflects the increasing! number of customers; , served, '> which was up about 6 1-2 per-. cent during the year to a total of 52,773 and the greater use of electricity.

Logger injured Mel Germaine- was seriously injured Saturday afternoon while working on the Enemark Logging operations near Port Mellon. The crew was pulling rigging when a long log choked back about 20 feet, swung on its cable and caught Germaine on the head and shoulder. He was in what was considered a safe place behind a big stump, with just the upper part of his body above, when the log swung. He was flown to Vancouver and sent by ambulance to General Hospital, where he has been found to have a slight skull fracture and three broken ribs. Latest reports were favorable, and his condition, is good. HOTELS CONVENTION B. C. Hotels Association 30tb annual convention, announced by J. IS. "Blackie" Bengert, president?* wii�� lie Nov. 15 to 18 in Hotel Vancouver. 60 FOOT FOREMAST FOR KETCH ZITA A forty-five foot ketch "Zita" is gradually being completed at the wharf in Gibsons under the expert workmanship of Gus Mahon, who has had the project under way at intervals over the past two years. The "Zita" is built of tim: bers cut and sawn by Gus from the woods on his own land and from the forest nearby. He has set up his own mill to saw the planks especially for the job. She is forty-five feet over all and her mizzen mast* which is now ready to step, is ,40 feet, the foremast to be 60 feet in height. A suit of sails, four to date, has been tailored by Gus, and is all ready, once the masts are stepped. The ketch is a thing of lovely lines, and rides, as one old salt leaning on the wharf described her "like a duck." Gus himself says she must sail, before he will know how well he has built her. The hull was built in the woods, near the sawmill, and brought to Gibsons by Al Ritchey with his fiatdeck trailer. She was launched just T clow Mr. Grant's home, into the Bay. Asked where he intended to sail first, Gus Mahon said he didn't really know, but first to Alaska, maybe, or down to California. "But that is nothing, that is not a voyage" he said, and perhaps for an old sailor who has sailed all the seas of the world, going to California is just like stepping across to the neighbor's. The "Zita" is named after the queen of Eastern legend, who was, to quote Gus again, "such a superior woman that all women of India pattern themselves ��� after "hef.': With such a name,, he feels, she should be a ship of success. Building the "Zita" was a project designed to keep Gus Mahon healthy in . mind : and body, after a series of illnesses and accidents that might have made a less sturdy man give up and become useless. That the treatment has been highly successful is abundantly evident, when one sees the old sailor stepping lightly about the deck of his ketch, or working about the masts and guys strung to j hold them. 2: Coast News Nov. 11, 1954. oas (Established 1945) Published by Sechelt Peninsula News Ltd. every Thursday al Gibsons, B.C.

To those not Quite clear as to the meaning of that phrase it should be explained that during the First War when a man had been killed he had "gone West." . ��� There are time's when the average veteran of both wars does a little reminiscing" and wonders what the ghosts of -the various battlefields will be doing on this Armistice Day'of 1954. They will wonder what, 'the "Nobby" Clarks, "Spud" Murphys, "Nipper" Naylors and all the other nicknamed ghosts will be doing because there are quite a number of Nobbies, Spuds and Nippers scattered in the various cemeteries throughout the world. One wonders, what they would say if they w,ere able to communicate with us mortals through ordinary conversation. Some of the First War dead would rightly ask how the world was progressing following the victory in the "war to end all wars" and the dead of the Second War would have every right to be extremely perplexed over the results of the victory achieved by sheer force of arms in their war. Wars do not settle much in terms of'-international boundaries but they do have a knack of bringing out inventions which on the one hand do not save lives yet at the same time can be put to use later for the purpdse of saving lives. For instance atomic bombs are terrible weapons but leaving aside their horrible explosive force and putting that force to work-in other directions does mean that civilization talces a step ahead. The cost of all progress is jgreat It remains for those who experienced actual battle or the pangs of bereavement through war to think their own thoughts during the two minute silence. Those thoughts if placed on paper so that all could read would not be too pessimistic about the future of civilization. And. the ghosts of "No-Man's Land" would most likely advise keeping the head high and the mind, alert without too ma/iy'. regrets about what is now "water under the bridge."

KENNETT October stretched out in. true fashion giving the first gale, the first killing frost, and the first dense fog of the fall season. Rain was very near normal and confined to the earlier part of the month. As a result, skies have been mostly clear and temperatures above average for th latter part of th month, and peninsula residents basked in warm afternoon sunshine in spite of early morning fog which in itself was confined mostly to the water and low- lying areas of the lower mainland. October had. 16 days with rain for a total of 3.05 inches. The fresh gale, recorded on October 20 caused power outages on the peninsula, and clearing skies following the gale brought chilly overnight temperatures, plunging the mercury to ^1.3 degrees in the early morning of Oct. 25. " Overnight fog banks played havoc with shipping arid : airline transportation, but 'warm afternoon temperatures helped somewhat to dissipate the "fog banks and not bring transportation to a complete standstill.. Warmest day of the month was 67.5 degrees on Oct. 16 and a deciding factor contributing to the fierceness of the- gale and cold wave which followed. If November runs true to form, rainfall should be near 6.9 inches and there should be no snow, and the mean temper- ,} aturo should' be hear the mid if:- ALONGSHORE By Barrie Zwicker of The Coast News Did you ever receive a letter on which the signature was, to say the least, difficult to read?

LETTER TO EDITOR \ Editor: ������' ,'; In reference to a letter froni C. Y. Nical in your last issue. I would say that it is. criminal waste, to use public funds to use public funds to try and rei pair the "Folly" (which .is. a good name) that we now have at Roberts Creek. At the same time I do think that any monies being spent could, benefit Roberts Creek greatly, if they were used for a harbour for small craft to anchor. Rustic solitude is all very well, but we do not. want to become a' "Ghost Town," and if we had a harbour for small craft, many people would enjoy the convenience. Also may I point out that from Sechelt to Gibsons is quite a stretch of water and a disabled ship would surely welcome a safe sheltering place in case of emergency. \ Mrs. Jen Monrufet. ave Vour r&ipur^L- or BUSINESS GREETINGS Printed as you like them Order Early From 5_5ggat_^s^JE��-^^ "Government Liquor Act" (Section 27) ..

Householders do not seem aware of the danger of electrocution when clotheslines are attached to powerpoles. Insulators can fail and the resistance of a wooden pole varies considerably Furthermore, a clothesline filled with a heavy load of wet clothes under storm conditions could pull a pole over and create a dangerous condition.

Here is his article: The weatherman predicts 40 mile winds and posts gale warnings for the Straits of Georgia. Utility troublemen brace themselves for the blow.

It was a gala affair with the beautiful gowns of the ladies striking a colorful note and the music of the Port Mellon Orchestra lending zip and rhythm to the assemblage. Tables were placed beside the dance floor, cabaret-wise, thus making the party informal. Hubert Evans' new book, 4'Mist on the River" is now off the press and on~ the bookstands.

News from Egmont MRS. G. McNUTT The Community Club is happy to report a long step in the right direction ��� the government surveyors arrived at Egmont after a hike through the bush from Agamemnon Bay, with a request for a sketch map of the suggested route and some of the original walking party to show them the blazed trail. . We know this does not necessarily mean that a road will immediately follow, but we now have hopes that the funds will be voted in. at the next session. Incidentally, we understand that the first survey of the Agamemnon Road was made over 26 years ago, and did not follow the present route. It was surveyed to . reach the channel opposite Westmere and was to cross Nelson Island, thus entailing the use of two ferries. Dan Cummings was the re Notice To Electors TAKE NOTICE that I have posted a copy of the VOTERS' XilST for the Village of Gibsons Landing at my office at the Municipal Hall. A COURT of REVISION to revise and correct the said list will be held in the Municipal Hall, Gibsons, B.C., on the fifteenth day of November 1954, at ten o'clock iri the forenoon. ROBERT BURNS Clerk f^^^��^ cent victim of a logging accident at L.M.N, Camp. About quitting time a block fell, striking him on one side. He was immediately rushed to hospital. Egmont thanks L.S.J. for the very fine write-up he gave us. Just a reminder however, that all of Egmont is not on the south side. Ten school children come from the north side, and a store and gas station are still on the original site. The road will not come to the north side but the sunshine always does. The Community Club held its fall bazaar on Oct. 16. The sum of $274 was taken in. Raffle winners were Doris Disney, Ron Jeffey and Ella Cummings. The community is still waiting to hear from the district engineer as to what sort of reply he has received from Victoria concerning a road. The usefulness of the government road terminus at Earl's Cove is hampered by the fact that access to it is over private property. Black Ball applied for a foreshore lease to put in a float for small boats, but it appears they have abandoned the project. The Earl's have a float tuck-; ed in a smali^ibay. The front isi exposed to the doWh winds that prevail at this time.of the. year. Behind, it there is room for no more than their three fishing boats. This is the small remaining part of their foreshore. Another complaint is that there is a daily two-way bus service from Powell River which local people are not allowed to use. On October 21, Cape Lazo broadcast a message for Egmont during his 8,20 p.m. weather report: "Dot has a baby boy. Mother and child doing well." Then, we heard, "Hello Cape Lazo, the 'Silver Sides' got your message OK." This means a son for Dot and Stan Silvey. Congratulations ! Incidentally, note the 'round about way two places not 15 miles apart have to communicate with each other ��� Cape Lazo is on Vancouver Island, above Courtenay. Selma Park Community Association^ held its annual Fail Bazaar and Tea Nov. 5, in the Community Hall. ' Tea tables were attractively decorated with autumn flowers, and judging by the hum of conversation every one enjoyed a grand chat over their tea cups. * . *. * Mrs. J. E.

This year a good deal of thought hask been given to' the wants of the litle folks. Parents here experienced a preview of the forthcoming Christmas holidays last Friday when the Convention took our teachers away for the day.: It rained as well. Mrs. E. J. Shaw entertained local members of the Eastern Star on Monday evening. This is one of several groups on the Peninsula busily engaged in getting another shipment of cancer dressings off to the Cancer Clinic in the city. This* effort is much appreciated by those using the dressings and it is difficult to keep up with the demand for them. It is also difficult to find enough materials to work with and donations of old sheets, tablecloths, even house- dresses are most welcome. As the dressings are used but onee and then destroyed it can be seen that the need is urgent. * * * If you see pre-school children imitating "creepy-crawly" ���spiders, or little girls scolding ;imaginary husbands, think Ihbth-ng of it It will be Stratford Kindergarten tinies rehearsing for their operetta which is scheduled for December 17 at the hall. This may seem an ambitious program for such little tots, but it is all in a day's iun for them and will constitute part of their Christmas party.

BY CHUCK TOMPKINS As you will see elsewhere in the paper the Gibsons and District Recreation Commission is now a full fledged club having elected officers and having laid down some of the rules that Will govern them. The one that I am interested in at this time is the idea of a Booster ticket. This means that tickets, or better still, membership cards will be sold to anyone wishing one and the money will go into the commission to pjay for equipment, etc. j The commission, in my opinion, shoald give the holders of ynembership tickets a few special priviledges like a reduced price to any of the displays or giames and assure them of the Jjest seats. I Some of the money from the pale of these cards will go towards a group insurance policy for the participants in any of the activities covered by the commission. So when you are approached in the near future it won't cost you much but you will be giving a lot, so let's all be Booster Club members. I am in receipt of a letter from the B.C.

Bob also operates the largest chain of accordion schools in Canada, and as a pioneer in the accordion field has-many firsts to his credit. He was probably the first accordionist in Canada to play an entire programme of solo accordion music and was also the first accordion soloist to play on a qoast-to-coast hook-up. At one time he played as many as five programmes daily on the air. Among his other firsts was the first publication of a successful accordion method (EMPIRE MUSIC PUBLISHERS) on the west coast. He introduced the modem type of European bass fingering on the west coast, and most progressive accordion, schools now use this system. Bob is very well known for his participation as a member of such famous radio groups as THE VAGABONDS, and the RADIO RASCALS. As a member of the famous RADIO RASCALS (RED, AL and BOB), he took pert in making the.jfirat_.6et of Vinylite unbreakable records (Linden recordings). . It should also be mentioned here that when he injured his right hand and had a splint on his middle fingers, he never missed a programme, but continued to play a solo each night on a programme known as WESTERN TRAILS. The injury to his right hand made him think of teaching as a career and in this he has again distinguished himself to the extent that 90 percent of all successful students and teachers are graduates of his. Bob was instrumental in forming the CANADIAN ACCORDIONISTS ASSOCIATION and was its first president. He later resigned' from this post in order to give more attention to his students. He will be leaving shortly for New York and later Italy to study the latest teaching and manufacturing methods. He has many original ideas regarding design and'construction which he would .like to put to practical use. and has turned out thousands of accordionists, both professional and those that play the accordion as a. hobby. Students that show special aptitude and wish to make a career of the accordion may take teachers' training, and upon graduation are placed in well paying positions. STUDENTS PREPARED FOR EXAMINATION All courses are graded at The Accordion College and students can be prepared for examination. Hundreds of students get together annually to receive diplomas and compete for medals and trophies. It is not unusual for students to- enter the festival in Vancouver from points as far away as Kimberley, Karnloops, Victoria, etc. INSTRUMENTS AND MUSIC Instruments and music are supplied free for beginners while taking the trial lesson course and the Accordion College continues to supply free music up to and including Grade I. FREE BAND TRAINING Students who get along well are chosen for band training at no extra cost and in this case receive the eQuivlalent of $14.00 a month in free band experience and training. MUSIC PREVENTS JUVENILE DEUNQUINCY Music has proved itself to be a great aid in helping children analyze their school work, and in many cases it gives children a self assurance they would never achieve otherwise. In a nation that is rapidly bcoming "onlookers" it is always a pleasure to see a child who is a "do-er." CHOOSING AN INSTRUMENT Do not buy an instrument until you have discussed it with your teacher.
